ROUND 3 INTRO LOG



Welcome to The Island. The Witch extends her greetings to you on this fine day, and is pleased to finally begin the game. Please, take a seat.

Though this game may be more difficult than originally expected, there are high hopes placed upon you. Fight well against what awaits you in order to reach a truly sparkling end.

The difficulty level is challenging, but also depends on you. Think deeply on your moves as you play.





You wake with a start - even if you don't remember falling asleep in the first place - and find yourself standing on the dock of what looks like an island. There's a noise behind you - and if you turn to look, you'll see a plain white boat taking off and leaving you all behind, not stopping for a second if you try to flag them down or scream at them.

It doesn't look like you can swim to shore, either - there's nothing but sea in all directions, and something tells you trying to swim out will end up badly. However, a small dip, if you were so inclined, would be fine. It's not like the weather is bad for it - it feels like it's summer, despite it having been firmly springish at the Foundation.

...Speaking of, what happened? The last thing you remember is being...wherever you were, and then seeing a yellow bird come towards you. Perhaps it was in the corner of your eye, or landed on your shoulder...regardless, all of you saw the bird before you were whisked away to this strange island.

Is it a new SCP? Something like this isn't outside the realm of their abilities, after all.

And there's something else. Your abilities are blocked, beyond those natural to your body. Try as you might, you just can't use any of your more supernatural or superhuman skills - though all of your physical abilities are intact, of course.

There is also a...letter? on your person, as if it was there all along - in your pocket or in your hand. It is...a remarkably plain envelope, and even the letter itself is plain parchment.

It reads:

'To the players in this game,

First and foremost, let me begin with an apology: for many of you, this is not a good time to bring you here, and forcing you to play in this game instead of asking nicely is quite rude of me. For that, you have my apologies.

However, as you will soon find out, this game is quite necessary. I hand-picked all of you because I felt you were the best for this task, strange circumstances notwithstanding, and I am sure you will excel beyond even my expectations. Please give me some consideration and play this game to your best efforts. Success will be greatly rewarded.

I will be watching, and I will intervene if needed. But I think all of you are up to this task. I am in your debt for this.

- The Witch of ██████████
'

...hm.

If you decide to head up the path, you'll find Goat....men? waiting for you near the doors to the mansion. Despite their bright red eyes, they merely bow politely and wordlessly bring you into the mansion, showing you your rooms and then stating that they will prepare food for you or anything else you should need whenever you want, in surprisingly deep voices.

As they leave, you can't help but wonder...

Where are you now?

...That sounds rough.

[ He's heard stories of kitchen nightmares (pun entirely intended) but has never had to brave such things himself. ]

It's not as bad as it could be, I'm grateful that they took one look at me and went "no, he's no good for field work." But remembering the dietary needs for over three hundred staff and friendly SCPs is not easy, let me tell you.
rikuchi: (I repeatedly almost fell to my knees)

[personal profile] rikuchi 2019-03-25 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
...Yeah, no thanks. I'd probably miss something up, big time.

[ No joking. ]

In fact, I don't know how you do it.
foundfate: (shrug)

Memorization is easy for me, just like how fighting is easy for others. It really is the best job for me, if I have to work at the Foundation.
rikuchi: (I’d give my life for you)

[personal profile] rikuchi 2019-03-27 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
That's fair; everyone has a skill in something, after all.

[ Though... ]

By the way, name's Riku. Figured we should be knowing each other's names since we're clearly stuck in the same situation and might be for awhile.
foundfate: (ahahaha....)

[personal profile] foundfate 2019-03-27 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
That's true. I'm Watanuki, then.
rikuchi: (And dull my blue?)

Good to meet you, even if our situation's kind of a mystery right now besides having been instantly kidnapped.

[ A thing he'd never thought would happen to him, really. ]

If we end up staying up here for awhile, I might also ask you to teach me some new recipes.

[ For practical reasons, mostly. ]
